MUSHROOM MEN FROM MARS.
London: Hamilton & Co. (Stratford) Ltd., [1951]. Octavo, pictorial wrappers. First edition. Authentic Science Fiction Series [No. 1]. "The thing which emerged from the machine was like nothing so much as a huge purple-green mushroom, about five feet in height. The creature had a short, stubby stalk, topped by a thick fleshy cap or dome. The dome was covered with green fibrous threads and round the edge ran a sort of fringe of tentacles about an inch thick." "The terrible cover and title all combined to make this one of the all-time stinkeroos" - Harbottle and Holland. Harbottle and Holland A346. Wear to spine ends with some loss to lower spine and lower left front corner, a very good copy. Called by some uncommon, it does not seem to be the case. (24431). Item #24431
